Gonzales, or Frodo Fredo as Bush calls him, has a big day in Congress today. Unfortunately I’ll not have time to watch the show. If anyone does, please let us know your impressions.
When asked, he will try to hardly remember anything but his name. But some good questions may break him one way or another.
Gonzales published his hearing opening remarks on Sunday. I thought that was a silly move as people immediately could start to shoot holes into his truthiness. ABC News did so stating that Gonzales Contradicts His Own Testimony.
Meanwhile the White House sent a letter to the RNC and asked it not to turn White House emails over to Congress as demanded by Conyers. One could probably make the case – as some do – that this is already obstruction of justice.
In the end, after many twists and turns which we will certainly watch with some interest, there will be one or another Supreme Court decision about the realms of executive privilege. But that will take some time and Bush may well be back home in Texas before such a judgement comes down.
